Some customers of Eastern and Western municipal water districts are being asked to stop outdoor irrigation next week due to the shutdown of a treatment plant for maintenance.

Easternâs customers in Moreno Valley and Perris Valley are asked to voluntarily limit use from Monday, Jan. 14, through Friday, Jan. 18. Outdoor water use is prohibited on those days for Westernâs customers in the Woodcrest, Lake Mathews, Orangecrest, Mission Grove, March Air Reserve Base, Air Force Village West, Lake Hills and Hillcrest areas of Riverside.

The Henry J. Mills Water Treatment Plant in Riverside, owned by Metropolitan Water District, will be shut down for routine maintenance. The plant processes supplies from the State Water Project, so the agencies will be relying on local supplies only for that period, a news release said.
